Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts raise workers and materials straight up on a stable platform. Electric slab machines are the largest class in the catalog, with rough terrain models, low-level access lifts, and one-person units completing the family.
Cómo funciona
Hydraulic cylinders extend the scissor stack, raising the platform to working heights commonly between 19 and 50 ft while the chassis stays directly below. Platform extension decks add horizontal reach at the top, and pothole protection, tilt sensors, and rated capacity interlocks are built into the control system.
Tipos y variantes

Cómo elegir
Working height (platform height plus about 6 ft) and surface set the machine: electric slab units for finished floors and indoor air, rough terrain models with outriggers or oscillating axles for yards and sitework. Door and aisle widths bound chassis size; capacity must cover workers plus tools and stock. Operator training per the MEWP standards applies across the class.
